What type of oil do you put in your TL for an oil change? I have a 08 TL and was wondering what other people put in theirs?

 

5w20 Castrol Syntec.

I just did the first oil change as per MID. Changed the filter too. Call me old-school or something but changing oil w/o changing the filter (as indicated by A1 service) sounds retarded to me.

 

ok cool thanks a lot im gonna get my oil change tomorrow and i just wanted to make sure what to put in

 

I used to used mobile 1 from day 1 though its gotten expensive, so now i use valvoline syn power a little cheaper and supposed to work better idk thats what the reviews on the internet says. no regrets so far!!!

 

i've used both mobil 1 and royal purple. i prefer rp over mobil 1 just for the sake of it...i run the car super hard too

 

rp does ok in real world use- but not the all out best,,, for the money it cost

Any name brand oil will do-- synthetic if you prefer,, 5-20 or 5-30
7500 miles for change with filter

on new cars wait at least 6000 miles before first change- the factory oil is special to allow extra wear needed during break in period

 

yeah it's economically not the smartest choice i agree. more so for the ease of mind...

 

Ive been using amsoil

 

5w20 castrol syntec as well...good stuff.

 

think with your dip stick jimmy! use castrol! I love that commercial but any mobil, castrol, amsoil, or any good name brand 5w 20 or 30 will be fine.

 

Amsoil 5w30

 

Valvoline conventional 5W20 with NAPA GOLD Filter. Will be switching to Valvoline Maxlife soon.

 

i use mobil 1 5w 30 and change it every 5000 miles

 

Amsoil 0w20. I live in Wisconsin so I need the cold weather help. If you follow Amsoil's directives on oil changes it gives you the best protection there is cheaper than conventional oils. How can you go wrong with that.

 

castrol syntec

 

over a year and a few changes on penzoil platinum synthetic 5-30 (gen2)
for its secret feel good ingredients and cool commercials~

 

RP all the way!

 

whats wrong with regular oil, over synthetic?

 

nothings wrong but synthetic gives you more protection. Im sticking to regular since 5 quarts of castrol at walmart is 12 dollars and other good name brand non synthetic for about the same. I change my oil around 2000 anyways

 

Which is proven to have some of the worst wear in a performance engine.

 

Amsoil straight 30wt synthetic since it was a baby.
